You may not know I am
But I know you well
For though I hardly speak
My eyes have borne witness
To all your laughter
& all your tears
For so long
I’ve hidden myself
Quietly watching
From the distance
Too afraid to approach you
Too afraid to laugh along
I have loved you
& I have hated you
But have always
wanted to know you
To show you how
beautiful you are
For by your hands
I have fallen
My heart broken
Yet without regret
Knowing, hoping
Someday, you’ll see
The beauty of living
Of loving without cause
Showing kindness to all
Turning the fiery wrath
Of your enemies
Into smoke
Writing this letter
I only wish my words
Could adequately express
All the things I wish you knew
All that I’ve failed to tell
All the things I wish to say to you
